The Hornets have finally returned to New Orleans full-time this season, and they're playing like a team that's grateful to never have to spend a night in Oklahoma. Last night the team formerly known as NOOCH beat the Lakers 118-104 thanks mostly to Peja Stojakovic's shooting and Chris Paul's court vision.

Stojakovic shot 10-of-13 from 3-point range on his way to 36 points, while CP3 added 19 points and a team-record 21 assists, while David West and Tyson Chandler dominated the frontcourt, combining for 32 points and 17 rebounds for the 4-0 Hornets. On the losing side, Kobe Bryant had 28 points on "only" 20 shots, while no one else on the Lakers was any good for approximately the 175th consecutive game.

Elsewhere in the Association: Unbeaten Clippers beat Bulls, who remain winless. What dimension is this? … Seattle Durants fall to 0-4 after FreeDarko favorite Francisco Garcia sinks late three to lift Kings… LeBron James just misses triple-double, muscles the Cavs to a narrow win over Golden State (0-4)… Knicks have four players with 20+ points, improve to 2-1 in home win over Nuggets, celebrate by groping whoever they damn please… Dwight Howard is a beast: Magic keep Wolves winless behind D-Ho's 28/16 against Al Jefferson.

Spurs lost to the Rockets: Yao went for 28 in a winning effort, while Ginobili led the Spurs in scoring and having a stupid annoying face.

These games would be a lot more exciting if they had strippers instead of cheerleaders.

These games would be a lot more exciting if they were football.

How about Matt just puts up a picture of a basketball and everybody writes their own game summaries for their favorite teams? Of maybe we can just shout them at the top of our lungs in our offices?

I've been asked to leave the office and two large men in security suits are going to "help" me with my stuff. Guess I shouldn't have littered my recap with racist remarks about the chinese (fuckin Yi) and used profanity to describe the shootings styles of Desmond "I'll-show-up-for-one-game-this-season-and-it-was-last-night" Mason.

The only person that can stop the Hornets is Timothy McVeigh.

These games would be a lot more exciting if the cheerleaders strippers simply took their clothes off like they do on their day job.

We're just barely one month into a seemingly 1000 game season (just slightly longer than baseball with slightly less tedium) so there's plenty of time for a New Orleans team to do what they do best – choke.
